Rain pours on "The Bachelor" wedding
Check out photos of Jason Mesnick getting hitched to Molly Malaney on Saturday. According to Us Weekly, "The ceremony took place on a lawn overlooking the ocean; the couple exchanged vows beneath an altar made of tree branches, white lillies and orchids. Wearing a strapless Monique Lhuillier gown and Neil Lane jewels, holding an all-white bouquet, Malaney walked down the aisle as American Idol alum Jason Castro performed 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow.' White doves were released in the middle of the ceremony."

"The Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss wanted to use "journey" from the get-go so that contestants and the show's host wouldn't have trouble expressing themselves. As the Wall Street Journal notes, reality producers "must heavily coach their charges to get an often inarticulate public to explain their emotions in simple phrases audiences understand. All this prodding has given way to a lingua franca of reality television. The talk in part evolved from gritty daytime talk shows like 'Ricki Lake' and 'Sally Jessy Raphael' that thrived on getting guests to spill their innermost thoughts in succinct sound bites, producers say."
After losing Conan, the Peacock has to start over looking for Leno's replacement should he retire yet again. "NBC would be wise to start test-piloting some guest hosts in the Leno slot," says media studies professor Jeffrey McCall, who thinks that NBC needs at least three to four years to find Jay's replacement. "When (Johnny) Carson retired, they had already run a bunch of guest hosts through at 11:35 and had a sense of who could cut it and who couldn't.
Janell Wheelr didn't have the chops, but she did have that Tim Tebow conneciton. And as Shirley Halperin points out, Joe Muñoz had a great voice, but nobody knew who he was. Ashley Rodriguez was promising, despite a terrible first night. As for Tyler Grady, he "is exactly the sort of potentially zany rocker that can liven up this competition," says Halperin. "Otherwise, we could be looking at an endless parade of wannabe divas and John Mayers. And the judges were sending him mixed messages and contradictory advice, which he might have worked through had America voted him in for another week."
Walter Koenig and Vancouver police confirm that the "Growing Pains" star has died at age 41. "My son took his own life," said the elder Koenig who found his son's body while searching a Vancouver park with Andrew's friends today. "We've already said what a great guy he was and (what) a good human being. He was obviously in a lot of pain." (Watch Koenig's parents' 
Yup, that's really Conan tweeeting away, verified by Twitter itself and 
"I first learned my sense of humor in performing in silence for my cousins and friends in the church," he says, adding that it consisted of "a lot of deadpan. Jaw clenching. I was an altar boy, and then I began to do the readings of the gospel, probably in my early teens, and that was the beginning — I’d have eight guys just rolling in the aisles. And everyone else thought I was delivering a heartfelt performance. It was really fun."
"Oh, how quickly the mighty have fallen," Mary T. Kelly says of the hype over this year's crop of female contestants. "The performances, in a nutshell, were bland, lifeless and safe. Many of the women forgot that their specialty was themselves. Many played it safe by trying to imitate the likes of Mariah Carey and Melissa Etheridge, and like many Olympic figure skaters, many fell flat on their faces." As for Ellen's live debut, she seemed nervous, says Kelly, "as she was stuttering and stumbling to tell some of the contestants they were nervous. Ellen gave me a twitch." PLUS: Everybody seemingly wanted to 
"I thought that overall this was another very strong outing for 'Lost,'" says Noel Murray. "I didn’t even mind Jack doing the typical Lost thing of destroying a location/object/person who could help him find answers, because I’m starting to think that these kind of dumb moves aren’t just easy ways for the writers to prolong the story, but actions with their own thematic significance. These are characters—Jack in particular—who may not want answers, because confronting the truth about themselves could be deeply upsetting."
